EMF Women's Health
Safety Guidelines for Women
Women are developing breast cancer in the exact same place they kept cell phones in their bras, according to an increasing number of medical reports. (1)(2)
Cell phone manuals state in fine print that cell phones are to be kept some distance away from the body.
Women, follow these guidelines:
Protect Your Body - Airplane mode ON with WiFi OFF stops the radiation. However, in some smartphones airplane mode does not work even when it has been turned on. The only way to know if airplane mode is working is to have your smartphone tested.
Do not carry cell phones in your pockets or bra.
No laptops or tablets on your lap.
Practice Safer-Phone Prefer a corded landline phone.
Hold cell phones away from the head and body by using speakerphone.
Protect Your Fertility & Your Pregnancy No wireless devices near reproductive organs or near a pregnant woman’s abdomen. Practice Safe Tech Turn off WiFi and use cords to connect routers, phones, computers and other devices.
In addition to RF wireless radiation, EMF'S from electrical home wiring errors cause harmful health effects and can also cause fire.
The only way to know for sure whether or not your home is EMF safe, both inside and outside the home, is to test the areas to determine what the actual EMF radiation levels are. It is important to test for all 4 EMF types: (1) AC electric fields, (2) AC magnetic fields, (3) RF Radio Frequency, (4) Dirty Electricity.
